I really like the HubPages feature that warns you when your content may have been stolen, and it even provides you with the outline for sending DMCA notice to the offending website.
Several of my Hubs were scraped and posted on this site, but I cannot find the 'owner'. Has anyone had any success in reaching the right owner or host? WordPress denies any affiliation or responsibility.
Though I don't want to send any more traffic to this thief -- especially since some of my content on this ranks higher in Google than my original Hub -- here is the link so you can see URL.

Thank you, Colorfulone. I've tried sending notes to Steve Baldry, but the email is not valid.
If the information he provided to the host is not valid, report it to ICANN and they will yank the domain name. I've done that on many occasions when I the email is invalid. ICANN doesn't mess around.

I just found that one of my Hubs was stolen in June 2014 and published in a magazine. I wouldn't have found out about it except that they have now put their magazine on-line. It was stolen by a slick looking magazine in Australia, and I am from the US. I told them if it wasn't...

I realized today that one of my hubs has been copied and re-published on two different websites. I was looking at my Google Analytics and noticed someone had searched on a complete sentence or two from one of my hubs. When I searched the sentence on Google myself I saw the other websites that...

I was surprised when I heard from Scott Life that he had some hubs stolen and he did not think that Hubpages did enough to resolve this. This got me wondering if other people here had a similar problem. Thanks for any input for I would hater to find out about this the wrong way!
